Mumbai: Raj Thackeray, the Chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), slammed Bollywood actor Salman Khan for his tweets over the issue of Yakub Memon. Ahead of the execution of Yakub, Salman took to micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote a few lines in favour of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub, which sparked a controversy in the country. However, Salman removed them.
Thackeray said, “Salman is a man without brains, while his father is a respectable man. He does not read newspapers and does not know the law and thus went on tweeting in his (Yakub’s) favour.”
He also added, “then there are people who sent letters to the President seeking mercy for the traitor. How can anybody question a Supreme Court order?”
